“North Korea is likely to carry out provocative acts, such as a nuclear test” Chang Cheol-un
The despot nation has a calendar full of anniversaries in April, with citizens expecting a huge display of power.
Tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un has previously used these events to launch long-range rockets and conduct nuclear tests.
And on the biggest holiday of the country, the 105th birthday celebration of Kim's deceased grandad, Kim Il-sung, the rotund ruler could conduct his biggest ever nuclear launch.
The north is known to be preparing a massive military parade at Mirim Airport, Pyongyang, so the nuke could coincide with this.
Far Eastern studies researcher Chang Cheol-un said: "To maximise the festive mood of the April anniversaries, North Korea is likely to carry out provocative acts, such as a nuclear test."
Kim will also celebrate his own leadership anniversary, marking five years in the job on April 13 after the death of his dad Kim Jong-il.
Intelligence officers have speculated what type of missile the north could fire, with the general consensus being it will be a new type of test.
Military parades in the communist country are often scrutinised by military experts to get an early glimpse at the equipment they could be packing for a potential war with the US.
Kim has threatened the US on many occasions with actual war over their positioning of military personnel close to their border.
And his latest threat came after senator John McCain labelled him "the crazy fat kid that runs North Korea".
This could involve the dastardly dictator firing two nukes at once, or the deadly H-Bomb believed to be at North Korea's disposal.
Another of the north's missiles, the mid-range IRBM named the Pukguksong-II could be fired by Kim.
